   The drills that coincide with tragedies in the past years have been a    
   bit of a surprise to me. This one, 9/11, the train station bombing in    
   London. Are there so many drills going on at any given time that there    
   will be a coincidence, or is it more than that? I really don't know.

   I hate to think of murder of innocent people taking place to get laws    
   passed, but I am convinced of criminal activity taking place to do so.   
      
   I'm fairly certain that the "Fast and Furious" (guns to Mexico)    
   situation was specifically designed to further anti-gun legislation. Not    
   necessarily to get anyone killed, but to get laws passed.

   I realize that many people in the U.S. are afraid of guns, and playing    
   on that fear is a useful tactic, but people such as myself who live in    
   and grew up in an area where guns are common may be much harder to    
   convince to be afraid. It's quite common to be around people with a gun    
   strapped to their hip in a convenience store, and I personally feel    
   safer knowing that people around me may be armed.   
      
   There is a big play against guns in this administration, but I'm not    
   sure if they have resorted to directly murdering people to get their way    
   or not. (I hope not).
